Hole In The Wall Research Paper

troops on a hopeless humanitarian mission pulled out of Mogadishu, Somalia. A few Americans realize that during this mission, U.S. troops had the most continuous and gruesome battle fought by American’s since the Vietnam War. The afternoon of October 3rd, 1993, soldiers of Task Force Ranger, and Delta Force were sent to capture two lieutenants of a rebel Somalian warlord and return to base. This mission was supposed to take 30 min, but instead, the soldiers were pinned down in the middle of Mogadishu market and in a desperate effort of kill or be killed. For about 20 hours, U.S. soldiers created a bloody firefight that resulted in 19 American fatalities and the death of 1000 Somali fighters. Black Hawk Down tells the story of that desperate battle, from all angles of the war.

Come D-Day + 6, Kasal’s men had already spent a whole day of clearing houses and discover multiple caches of weapons. A 5 man team came up to one of the last houses in a corner of the city. What they didn’t know was that this house was almost more of a fortress than a mere home. With a patio on the roof and a skyline to see in from, an insurgent could stay up there and watch anything coming in or out. This house was soon to earn its nick name “house of hell.” Three of the five marines in the team breached the doors, while the other two stood guard outside. They immediately found a hostile. After the target was killed, they pushed further into the house only to fall victim to the ambush that awaited them inside. 1stSgt Kasal, being not far away, runs into one of the Marines involved in the ambush and learns that there are still a couple marines trapped in the house. Without hesitation 1stSgt Kasal sprints to home and enters with L.Cpl. Nicoll. Immediately Kasal encounters an insurgents at point blank and empties an 8 round burst into his chest. A short while after they start receiving fire from behind them as the thought two other marines had their six. Both received multiple wounds, Nicoll slightly more serious than Kasal. Kasal dragged Nicoll into the nearest room, and using his own medical supplies he did as much treatment on him as he could. Both too injured to get up and continue the fight, Kasal posted up against a wall with his

The story Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, who has the worst luck in the entire world because his great, great grandpa was cursed and he is sent to a Juvenile Camp in the desert called Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. The boys spend their days digging holes in the desert because the counselors tell them that it helps them build character. Camp Green Lake is full of holes that are 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide, with nothing but a dry lake bed. The Warden of Camp Green Lake is keeping a secret about all the holes she has the boys digging. Stanley and his friend Zero are trying to serve their time and figure out what the Warden is hiding.

Both "Mending Wall" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" share a common theme of man in nature. This theme is illustrated by setting of both poems. The setting of "Mending Wall" takes place in between two orchards divided by a wall, which leads to the main conflict of the poem. The setting of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" sets up the poem on the edge of the woods on the side of the road while the speaker is on their way to a farmhouse. The nature is shown by the use of imagery when Frost writes in "Mending Wall" that "He is all pine and I am apple orchard" (24). This remains constant throughout the poem like in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" where the speaker says, "He will not see me stopping here / To watch his woods fill up with snow" (3-4). This illustrates how nature can be eye-catching and admirable since the speaker stops what he is doing just to look into the woods, he had to have seen something that caught his eye and made the stop one worth making.

The main character's name is Stanley Yelnats. At first, you see stanley as an alright kid who has made a bad decision stealing. “ I stole some sneakers” (pg 22). Throughout the rest of the story you find that stanley is nice and always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. “He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time all thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather” (Pg 7). At school before camp Green Lake he was bullied and treated bad. “he didn’t have any friends at home, he was overweight” (pg 7). At camp Green Lake Stanley made a new friend, his best friend “Zero”. He get’s along great with Zero and teaches him how to read. “I’ll try

“I have never seen anything like this in my life,” said Istar Mohamed, a mother of three who was penetrated with shrapnel in her arm hip and leg.” “You can’t imagine the devastation that happened there. After a few moments I fell unconscious from the impact of it all.”

Kicking in a door is a simple task, kicking in a hut with a sealed mud door, not so much. So we got Boomer to do it. You can imagine why we called him that, not a smart man but what he lacked in brain capacity he made up for in muscle mass. The sealed door crumbled to boomer, this was mistake three we charged into the hut not knowing what awaited us, but we soon found out. A hail of bullets came from the enemy and my comrades returned fire, I say ‘comrades’ instead of ‘we’ as the last thing I heard was boomers rain of fire from his M240 machine gun, and with a flash of white it was all over.

When people think of normal ghost stories they think of stories told around the campfire. Like a ghost of a one handed axe murder that kills kids that venture out into the woods, or the ghost of a kid who drowned in the lake and seeks vengeance on every camper that comes there. Many people don’t associate ghost stories with tales like Macbeth and Hamlet by Shakespeare. Or other works of literature like the Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the Things they Carried by Tim O’Brien. Both tales are great examples of a unconventional ghost story not normally told around the campfire, because of the hidden underlying “ghost”.

They believed (along with society) this was the best thing for a person in this condition. John never came out and said she was going insane he just said she was stressed and needed rest. He actually told her not to think about her condition it would only make things worse. So for the few weeks they were up there she tried to follow his prescription except for when she would secretly write. It was a favorite passion of hers that gave her a break from societies daily stresses. In this time period women didn’t have as much say as they do now. Both her brother and her husband told her that this was the best thing for her recovery. She couldn’t say no when her husband was telling her not to write. I believe because of her surroundings that her husband put her in she went insane much faster. The fact that she couldn’t write and didn’t really have anyone to talk to drove her to start hallucinating about the women in the wall. The wallpaper in the room became one of her fetishes. “There are things in the wallpaper that nobody knows about but me, or ever will.”(Narrator, 534) It wasn’t just a small feddish at the end but a large portion of her day would be spent contemplating about the walls colors and designs. She even believed she could smell the wallpaper, throughout the whole house and even in her hair. Her mind started comprehending her as the woman in the wall. The woman was stuck in the wall night after night just like her being

It was a fight all the way back up till about a mile from FOB Loyalty. As we pulled in the gate yet again, I saw that the other teams where still there along with others that I have never seen before. As we parked the Bradley, is when we found out that the trail Bradley that got hit lost one of the dismounts and they were taking him to the Hospital. The teams were there to help with our wounded and KIA. At the end they asked us to meet them outside at their trucks. The Platoon was at their trucks when the teams came from around a building from where we were all standing around. And one of the guys started talking, we all got

Immigration has always been a controversial issue in almost every society. Consequently, the choices a society faces about whether to allow an influx of people into their surroundings results in many conclusions being made. The article “To Wall Or Not To Wall” by Jonah Goldberg, a conservative commentator, discusses whether the United States should or shouldn 't build a wall around its borders so as to prevent illegal immigration. The author expresses his indecision regarding whether we should do one or the other. Although building a wall is necessary if a majority of the public supports it, i believe not building a wall has more merits than building one upon a clear comparison of the two.

When laying out our potential solutions, we found that we only had two. We could huddle against the median and pray that a mortar shell didn’t land right beside us, or we could wait until the next blast and then run through the alleyways until we reached blast bunker near our shelter. When weighing the potential outcomes, we concluded that neither of the solutions would guarantee our safety. Running would put us in danger of being hit by shrapnel because we would be leaving a larger surface area of ourselves exposed by standing up. And if we stayed where we were, it would only be a matter of time before a mortar shell dropped right into in our laps. We literally had no time to lose, so without giving it another second of thought we implemented our decision. And by implementing our decision I mean that we took off running like our heads were on fire! After, what seemed like 15 blocks, we finally had a visual of the bunker. For just a short time, that dark and foul-smelling bunker was the most beautiful thing my eyes had ever seen. We dove through the front entrance like kids jumping into a pool, laughed and yelling in relief. In the safety of the bunker, we evaluated the outcome. We laughingly agreed that making a run for it was the most reckless and foolish decision either of us had ever made; but it
